Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows of two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the data link can support.
Important:
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. To comply with the EIA-485 standard, no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link. Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link @ 120V: 12 fixtures Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link @ 230V: 27 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together, you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable, please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic interference.

Edison Bar E6
The Edison Bar E6 can be operated with a controller in control mode or without the controller in stand­alone mode.
Control Panel
A) LCD display B) MENU button C) UP button D) DOWN button E) ENTER button
Fig. 06
Control Mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller. The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it, the controller will display the saved DMX address, next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign DMX fixture addresses, which is the first channel with which the Edison will respond to the controller. Please note, when you use the controller, the unit has 6 channels. When using multiple Edisons, make sure you set the DMX addresses right. Therefore, the DMX address of the first Edison should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second Edison should be 1+6=7 (007); the DMX address of the third Edison should be 7+6=13 (013), etc. Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each Edison correctly. If two or more Edisons are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Edison fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller. Note: After switching on, the Edison will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If there is no data received at the DMX input, the “LED“ on the control panel will not flash. If not, the problem may be:
The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Edison Bar E6.
The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It is necessary to insert an XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.
Display Off after 10 seconds
When no button is pressed for 10 seconds, the display will turn off. To light up the display, you have to press the MENU, UP, DOWN or ENTER button. Once you have pressed the button, the display will light up.

Maintenance
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be inspected by an expert after every year in the course of an acceptance test. The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be inspected by a skilled person once a year.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
01) All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and
must not be corroded.
02) There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.
03) Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.
04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.
The Edison Bar E6 requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean. Otherwise, the fixture’s light output will be significantly reduced. Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe the lamp clean with glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents. Please clean internal components once a year with a light brush and vacuum cleaner. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before supplying electric power.
Changing the Lamp
01) Disconnect mains power supply.
02) Allow the fixture to cool for at least 15 minutes before handling and replacing lamp.
03) Follow directions for installing the lamp, page 9.
Replacing the Fuse
Power surges, short-circuit or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn out. If the fuse burns out, the product will not function whatsoever. If this happens, follow the directions below.
01) Unplug the unit from electric power source.
02) Insert a flat-headed screwdriver into a slot in the fuse cover. Turn the screwdriver to the left, at the
same time gently push a bit (Turn and Push). The fuse will come out.
03) Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out.
04) Insert the replacement fuse into the holder where the old fuse was. Reinsert the fuse holder. Be sure
to use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details.
Troubleshooting
This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems. If a problem occurs, carry out the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit operates properly, do not carry out following steps.
No Light
If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician. Suspect three potential problem areas as: the power supply, the lamp, the fuse.
01) Power supply. Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply.
02) The lamp. See page 9 for replacing the lamp.
03) The fuse. Replace the fuse. See page 17 for replacing the fuse.
04) If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.
05) If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the Edison Bar E6, as this may
damage the unit and the warranty will become void.
06) Return the device to your Showtec dealer.
